CISM study material · question 122 of 1000
Monitoring shows the organisation is routinely carrying far more risk than its published tolerance statement allows, with no adverse consequence to date. What does SP 800-39 say this may indicate?
Show the answer
Answer: C. That the stated risk tolerance may need reconsidering because it does not match operational realities
SP 800-39 reads a persistent gap between stated tolerance and risk actually carried as a signal that the tolerance statement, not the business, may be what needs revisiting.
